Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lemons, divided
3 pounds ripe quinces
½ cinnamon stick
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
⅔ cup rolled oats
1 pinch salt
2 pinches ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Wash lemons under cold water and dry well. Thinly peel 2 lemons and juice them. Fill a pot with cold water and add lemon juice and lemon peel.
  • Peel quinces and remove core. Cut into small pieces and immediately drop into the pot with lemon water so they don't turn brown. Add cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until quinces are easily pierced with a knife, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain and remove and discard lemon peel and cinnamon stick.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Zest and juice remaining lemon. Mix cooked quinces, lemon juice, lemon zest, white sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Pour into a baking dish and level out.
  • Combine butter, flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt in a bowl. Rub between your fingers to create streusel topping. Sprinkle streusel evenly over fruit.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crumble is lightly browned, about 1 hour.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large quinces, peeled, cored and cut into 6 wedges each
1 cup superfine sugar
3 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
14 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 cups self-rising flour, or as needed
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup oats, optional
Heavy cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spread the quince wedges in an 8-inch square baking dish, and add the sugar and bay leaves. Sprinkle with the ginger, and add just enough water to cover. Bake until the quinces are tender and the juices are rose-red, about 2 hours.
  • Pour most of the liquid from the baking dish into a heat-proof container, and reserve for another use (like flavoring drinks or desserts). Discard bay leaves.
  • Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, rub the butter and 2 cups flour together until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs, adding more flour if it seems too moist. Mix in the brown sugar, and add oats, if using. Spread evenly on top of the quinces and bake until the top is browned, about 40 minutes. Serve hot, drizzled with heavy cream, if you'd like.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe quinces: Look for ones that are yellow or golden in color, with no bruises or blemishes.
  • Peel and core the quinces: Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the skin and core, being careful not to waste too much of the fruit.
  • Slice the quinces thinly: This will help them cook evenly in the crumble.
  • Use a combination of sugars: A mix of brown and white sugar will give the crumble a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overmix the crumble topping: Just mix until the ingredients are combined, otherwise the topping will be tough.
  • Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Serve the crumble warm with a scoop of ice cream or custard: This will help to balance out the tartness of the fruit.

Conclusion:

Quince crumble is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and crispy topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new dessert to try, give quince crumble a try. You won't be disappointed.
